I'm kinda getting the feel that many things around me are practically screaming out: You are more than just man, that you are destined for far greater things than what this mundane world reeks of...
Of course it's not specifically directed to me, but still...
Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach:
All of us are an image of the Great Gull. We are more than just a soul trapped within a body measured by wingspan!
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho:
And that the soul of God is also his, and that he can perform miracles.
Th131 Fr. Dacanay
We have a natural dynamism towards the good, and choosing to frustrate that nature is also frustrating our highest human potential.
and there's no other means to achieve that goal but...
Ph101 Mr. Tolentino
May kakayahan tayong umunawa, at kung gusto nating umunawa, tayo mismo ang dapat na gumanap nito. Wala ng iba pa.
The means is within me... but however much I try to rack my brain for answers, following the lead of book characters, I just can't seem to make sense of the words. But then, here's what Richard Bach has to say:
Understanding may come a long way, that's why for the meantime, we try to reach perfection through our own. So fly!
So now I wonder if the people I mentioned do understand. Sigh. Envy is such a motivator.
